Next Gopher Gov. To Be Involved In A Sex Scandal...?

[Me.]

I say they're referring to Arnuld, don't see why this would be such a big, 'gasp' surprise.

“An escort who was hired by Eliot Spitzer claims to have worked with another married governor.

Another gubernatorial sex scandal may be looming. Even as South Carolina's Mark Sanford waits to see whether his wife, Jenny, forgives his romp in the pampas, a New York call girl could plunge one of America's most prominent governors into a fresh hell.

T]he elegant blond courtesan, whom we'll continue to call "Annie," is talking about three "dates" she allegedly had with another state's chief executive, who we'll call Gov. X."

According to the escort, this mysterious other governor has a wife who "is quite prominent in her own right." Her madam corroborates the account; his spokesman has denied it.”

1. Oh - heh. I thought you were talking about MN.

[MadBadger]

2. Me too. I immediatley thought of Pawlenty

[Me.]

4. OK, Give...

At this rate there won't be one left.

[BlooInBloo]

6. UM's teams are the "Gophers".

[Me.]

8. Didn't Know That

I call all of them gophers because they never really see the light. Sorry to get your hopes up/ He, Pawlenty, seems to staid to be involved with anyone, bur I would've said that about Sanford too. However I don't know that his wife is prominent.

[dflprincess]

35. As did I

We are, after all, the "Gopher State".

Pawlenty's wife is a judge - would that qualify for "prominent in her own right"? Otherwise I'm betting Ah-nold because Maria would certainly fit the wife comment.

[Me.]

3. Something Going On There Too?

[mascarax]

5. I know! I immediately starting chanting, "Please let it be Pawlenty...

please, please Pawlenty."

[jwirr]

7. I was hoping!

[seabeyond]

9. so the prostitute is now blackmailing the gov? it is what it is. n/t

[MrModerate]

10. At least they're giving sex workers some respect in using the phrase . . .

"worked with." That's a welcome development.

As to who it is (if there's any there there at all), I'm not sure I care, unless it's a dem, which would break the recent 'Lican monopoly on these sort of scandals.

Surely dems aren't keeping their pants on more consistently than 'Licans? That would be ahistorical, not to mention against human nature.

11. Is fomer Rep. Fred Grandy a governor?

[JerseygirlCT]

40. LOL - I thought that's what the OP referred to at first, too! nt

[alsame]

12. Oh please let it be Romney. nt

[Me.]

15. God I Would Love That

It might qualify as almost the best one of all

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. Imagine - Guy Smiling doing the nasty with (fill in the blank)

Oh please, make it happen...........

[KamaAina]

13. Dark horse: Lingle (HI)

she's been dogged from Day One by rumors that she is gay. I don't necessarily buy into this, myself -- I'd much rather our first gay governor not be a fascist Ahh-nuld wannabe -- but I heard a state employee, a female, even, make jocular reference to this at a meeting last month!

[Me.]

17. But Who's The Prominent Wife?

[Ian David]

22. Doesn't one of them have a wife involved in Focus on The Family or somesuch? n/t

[Ian David]

21. The escort says it's a man. n/t

[masuki bance]

14. Oh geez, I thought it was Ruth Ann Minner or Beverly Purdue.

Jan Brewer?

[Jane Austin]

16. Ed Rendell

fits the description.

His wife is a judge.

[Me.]

Somehow I Just Can't See

Eddie getting a pricey massage

[dflprincess]

39. Pawlenty's wife is also a judge

but I'm betting the wife is Maria Shriver.

[goclark]

18. Arnold from Cal-E-Four-Nee- A

I live here and we would like him to make a very wift exit


However ~ he was scum when he got the job sothis would not be anything new.

[Ian David]

20. "He was in his 30s, handsome enough to be an actor, an impeccable dresser.

"He was in his 30s, handsome enough to be an actor, an impeccable dresser."

Not Der Gropenfuhrer.

Ahnold is too old, and isn't "handsome enough to be an actor," he IS an "actor" of sorts.

[Jane Austin]

24. I thought that description was of the driver. . . . . . . n/t

[Ian David]

27. I think that was the description of Eliot Spitzer. n/t

[Me.]

28. It Was A Description Of Michael

The guy who drove the red car and introduced to the governor and then paid for the Governor

[Ian David]

29. I thought "Michael" was Spitzer's code-name.

I'm confused.

[Me.]

45. Michael Is The Guy Who Made A Date & Picked Her Up In The Red Car

At the hotel he introduced her to the gov, before taking her upstairs. He made another date but when she opened the door it was the gov. instead of Michael, though Michael
Spitzer has nothing to do with this.

[Ian David]

46. Ahhh, okay. Thanks. n/t

[AnnieBW]

36. Well, that description crosses Bill Richardson off of the list

If she'd have said "dumpy and looks like George Lopez," we'd have all guessed him.

My guess, and this is a wild card, Bob Erlich, former Governor of Maryland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Erlich. I'm hoping that it's not O'Malley, who does have a prominent wife. However, he was elected in 2006.

[Ian David]

19. $220 for a body rub from that woman sounds like a bargain. n/t
